Employees Appreciation
Author Last Post

Our community, Ingleside at King Farm in Rockville, Maryland, does the same. We have an Employee Appreciation Fund run by the Resident Council. Except for top management, employees get a check from the Fund based on the number of hours they worked - the same hourly rate for the Appreciation check regardless of the employee's pay rate.


Our two sister communities, Ingleside at Rock Creek in DC and Westminster at Lake Ridge in Virginia, do the same.

In our community, we have a “no tipping” policy, so we conduct an annual fund drive to provide a gifts to our non-salaried employees individually. Our administration is assiduous to remain exclusively hands-off despite the fact that providing our appreciation complements their staffing efforts. Thus, we do not have access to existing community electronic messaging, and must market using flyers, etc. Our account is completely separate from the organization’s and contributions are not tax qualified, but administration is concerned about how employees might not report the gift to the IRS, and that might create an issue if they were to provide admin support. I’m looking for information how other Life Plan communities approach this. Appreciate any thoughts regarding policy and procedures that others use.


Best,

Day Ritt
